Not sure about using ext3, isn't ext4 better for performance these days?

I think the expansion size should be fine, 16MB is reasonable.

Wait, did you say 50 PE? That's a bit much for a simple database, right?

Just a heads up, the logical volume name should be "database".

I remember needing to edit `/etc/fstab` to ensure the logical volume mounts automatically, but I’m a bit unsure about the correct entry format.

I believe the volume group name should be `datastore`, but I might be mixing it up with another practice question.

I practiced a similar question where I had to format a logical volume, but I can't recall if I used `mkfs.ext3` or something else.

I think I remember that I need to use `lvcreate` to create the logical volume, but I'm not sure about the exact syntax.
